Choppingmotion: I think you are wrong. The human brain is capable of processing a whole variety of inputs at the same time while still remaining situationally aware. Furthermore, with one or two exceptions, when things go wrong it is important to QUICKLY DO NOTHING. Too many fools start pressing buttons, moving knobs & levers, read checklists before they have even considered what the real problem is. Also, I'm sure many of us here would appreciate the name of your assessor so that we can put them right once you have finished your paper.
